The evolution of my hair

I have thin, limp, blonde hair.  It takes more than an ounce of product and at least 20 minutes of serious blowdrying to get it to "shape up."  I long for bouncy, curly hair, but understand that it comes with baggage, too.  My awesome stylist of 5 years, David, offered to do my hair for the wedding, but I have to follow his rules.  David is the best, flamboyant, hair-stylist I ever stumbled upon.  Never would I dream of cheating on him.  I honestly trust this guy with my hair's life, and will do whatever he says (within reason).  Here are his prerequisites for my wedding-hair:
1)  grow it out (fine, ok.  Mike loves long hair anyways)
2)  grow out the bangs (ugh, ok, if I must...I've had them for 3 years anyways)
3)  highlights (only about a month prior to the big day, therefor no upkeep - I can do that)

That's not so bad!  But to give you an idea of where I've come from here's a photo history.

The Evolution of My Hair:





July '06
-shoulder length
-long straight hair






April '07
-broken foot
-short bob





 July '08
-shoulder(ish) length hair
-longer bangs (b/c I was too lazy to get them trimmed before our trip to London/Barcelona)





April '09
-shoulder length
-shorter bangs




Dec '09
-slightly longer?
-bangs
-I'm sensing a trend
-perhaps it's time for change?



March '10
-longer?
-I insisted on my last bang trim before our engagement photo shoot



Wow, is it time for a new hair style, or WHAT?!
The things you learn about yourself through blogging, I swear!

Are you in need of a hair-change?
What's your hair trend?

  5. Thanks all - I think growing out bangs is a pain, but we're going for "long sweeping side bangs" in the future

    Mike, my hair isn't getting cut - relax. This is the interim stage -- if you like it now, just wait a couple months! (Plus you don't get much of a say) ;)

  8. I can't pull off the bangs look as well as you can. Whenever I feel like I need to change my hair I color it. I can't chop it off anymore because every time I do I bawl for hours afterwards. I'm emotional with a pinch of dramatic. Wee!
